  3. Right side VS Left side RIGHT SIDE • Folk Nation • Disciples • Some Crips sets • Cuz, folks • Number 6 LEFT SIDE • People Nation • Vicelords • Some Bloods • Peeps Homies • Number 5

  4. Colors • Colors are important • Vicelords are gold and black, but some use red because they identify with Bloods • Disciples and crips ware mostly black and blue • But some gang members disassociate with colors on purpose to not be identified – or they all dress alike • Some in the gangs may wear certain colors to identify their roles – EX: green = the money man • Parents, if kids ask where are we going? I need to change clothes? Making sure they can wear certain colors in that part of town.

  5. Numbers • 5 • 6 • Use numbers as alphabet • Quickly they can decipher a message • 312 = Detroit (for the Detroit area code) • Often use 3 digit number/area code to identify where they are from

  6. Schools and kids • Numbers are very important – a Folk or Crip will not associate with a 5, and VL or a Blood will not associate with a 6 (Example being in line, etc.) • If you associate with Crips – students will NOT put CK together (misspell words etc.) – Why? • IF you find something that has them identifying with like drawings or writings or their BIble, sometimes (often) they want someone to know they are in a gang and want out.

  7. 5 things gangs look for to thrive in an area: • Population of 15K or more • Average income below 26K • A major interstate close by • College of University close by • Military base within 45-60 minutes

  9. Words and Symbols • Gangster City= Hell or the left side of Satan • David = they think King David, really David Barksdale one of the founders of the • Daddy = Satan • Mama = Queen Sheba, the whore of Satan • 6 pointed star = 6 principles • Bandana = their colors, they have that SOMEWHERE on them • 8 balling = getting along because b and d looks like an 8
